Politico interviewed members of the military-industrial complex and found that they are thrilled to see Tucker Carlson exit Fox News.
Where one member said “good riddance,” a senior Department of Defense (DOD) official stated, “We’re a better country without him bagging on our military every night in front of hundreds of thousands of people.”

Meanwhile, Dr. Nicholas Waddy, political analyst and associate professor of history at SUNY Alfred, told Sputnik that Carlson’s departure will “solidify the neo-conservative, hawkish orientation of Fox News” when it comes to supporting conflicts like the one in Ukraine. “The more important question, though, is whether oppositional media and journalism, and thus democratic pluralism, can survive in an environment in which ‘misinformation’ and ‘libel’ are so opportunistically defined,” Waddy added, “and in which a media organization can be buried in litigation, as well as abandoned by skittish advertisers, and thus stifled financially if it strays from political orthodoxy.”
